Foley catheter.
Correct Answer : A,B
Choice A rationale
Intubation equipment and oxygen are essential for managing airway obstruction and ensuring adequate oxygenation in a patient experiencing anaphylaxis due to a severe peanut allergy.
Choice B rationale
Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis as it rapidly reverses the symptoms by constricting blood vessels, relaxing muscles in the airways, and reducing swelling.
Choice C rationale
Blood administration equipment is not typically required for managing anaphylaxis unless there is a concurrent condition that necessitates it.
Choice D rationale
A Foley catheter is not relevant to the immediate management of anaphylaxis.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor because genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can be inherited and increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
Choice B rationale
Multiparity (having multiple pregnancies) is generally considered to reduce the risk of breast cancer. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding lower the number of menstrual cycles a woman has, reducing her lifetime exposure to estrogen.
Choice C rationale
Exposure of the chest to high-dose radiation, especially during childhood or young adulthood, increases the risk of breast cancer. Radiation can cause mutations in breast cells, leading to cancer.
Choice D rationale
Previous cancer of the breast, uterus, or ovaries increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This is due to shared risk factors and the possibility of metastasis or recurrence.
